First pre-season over with Stamps winning 20-6. Really tough to gauge this game but there are a few newcomers that impresses me.

QB: I think the 3 QBs fighting for the 3rd string QB position #0 Andrew Buckley, #15 Dominique Davies and #20 Bryant Moniz showed enough positive stuff tonight. Davies probably have a slight edge tonight because of the TD pass.

OLINE: I can't really pinpoint who played the best amongst the OLine because I thought the whole group played well enough. The backup C spot is still up for grab.

RB: I was about to give the backup spot to #49.Tony Harrison over #24. Keith Toston then Toston started running well. I think Jock Sanders will have to impress Huff and the coaching staff as a good returner in order to dress for the game. He looks like he is tough to make the backup RB this season because both Harrison and Toston might unseat him. I have to give Harrison a slight edge after tonight.

RECEIVERS: Whoever is going to decide the final cuts will have a tough task for this position. We all know McDaniel, Rogers, Fuller, West are probably in. The fight for position between their backup might come down to who can play another positions ie: good special team. I thought #84 Greg Wilson played really well tonight and so far is getting my vote. The guy looks like a veteran receiver out there and he's got the speed also. He can return punts also. Others that impresses me are #47 Nathan Slaughter, #82 Cory Mitchell, #89 Dan Buckner and #83 Lamar Durant.

DLINE: Impressive showing tonight. I was impressed with #98 Brandon Boudreaux, #95 Freddie Bishop and even Evans.

LB: I think the whole group played well but I just love #42 Deron Mayo.

DB: I can't really pinpoint the best player on secondary position tonight. They are all pretty equal.

Special Team:
Return team: Blocking was good. I thought Slaughter did well and looks promising.

Cover Team: Just love this group so far.

Kicking and Punting: I love Crapigna but I think he will have to impress the coaching staff a lot more in order to take the position off Paredes(FG) or Maver(Punting). I have to think Stamps will hide him on practice roster or else someone will steal him from the Stamps. The missed FG tonight was not really his fault. He made the over 40 yards FG only to be nullified by penalty. He attempted a 50+ FG and missed.

I guess we will see some tough cuts after the next pre-season game vs Saskatchewan next week.
